I find it annoying as my FDD often reads at regular intervals whether there is a floppy in it or not. At that time, my system slows down and the mouse movement stops for a while. Is it a sort of virus/bug/worm or some other problem in my PC? I observe this symptom with some other PCs also.

I have found that problem whenever I have an explorer window open. I suggest that you pay attention to see if your computer does it whenever you have an windows-explorer window open.
Also if you are running office 97 you may have microsoft find fast in your start up folder, try removing it.
Good luck, hope this info helps you.
